Title
Purchase of Replacement Dump Truck Hydraulic Cylinders - Quote
History
Corrosion is one of the more damaging forces on snow plow trucks utilized in the Village’s fleet. The Public Works Department needs to replace two (2) dump body hydraulic cylinders used to raise and lower dump beds on the 2003 & 2004 model year tandem axle dump trucks. Staff removed one of the cylinders to perform routine maintenance and attempted to have it resealed before reinstalling. The heavy corrosion prevented this repair method from being a viable option.
Staff requested quotes from three (3) vendors. Henderson Products, Inc. of Manchester, Iowa submitted a quote (including shipping) for the replacement cylinders and bushings for a cost of $6,118.76 with delivery within two weeks. Extreme Cylinders of Tinley Park, Illinois provided a quote of $6,160.00 with shipping (excluding bushing) with a 4 to 6 week lead time. Triangle Fabrication of Chicago, Illinois provided a quote of $6,140.00 with shipping (excluding bushing) with a 4 to 6 week lead time. Staff recommends that the quote be accepted from Henderson Products, Inc. of Manchester, Iowa.
This item is going directly to the Board of Trustees.
